What to see in Baku: the main attractions and how to choose a hotel at the best price
Baku is a city where futuristic skyscrapers harmoniously coexist with ancient caravanserais, and oriental hospitality is complemented by European service. If you are planning a vacation or business trip to the capital of Azerbaijan, this guide will help you plan the perfect route and tell you how to find a comfortable hotel in Baku at the best price.
Top 5 places in Baku that every tourist should see
Regardless of whether you are here for a weekend or a whole week, start your acquaintance with the city from the following locations:
1. Icheri Sheher (Old Town)
The heart of Baku, surrounded by a fortress wall. It was here that the famous scenes of the film "The Diamond Hand" were filmed. Walking along the narrow cobbled streets, be sure to visit:
The Maiden Tower is a symbol of the city, shrouded in legends.
The Shirvanshahs' Palace is the pearl of medieval architecture of Azerbaijan.
2. The Heydar Aliyev Center
A space building designed by the legendary Zaha Hadid. There is not a single straight line in it. It is a masterpiece of modern architecture, with exhibitions, museums and cultural spaces located inside.
By the way, the cultural center is only a 5-minute drive from the Safran Hotel, which makes our hotel an ideal starting point for excursions.
3. Flame Towers and Nagorny Park
Three giant skyscrapers in the shape of flames are visible from almost anywhere in the city. To take the best panoramic photos of Baku and the Caspian Sea, take the funicular up to Nagorny Park in the late afternoon, when the LED lights on the towers turn on.
4. Primorsky Boulevard and "Little Venice"
Baku Boulevard stretches along the coast of the Caspian Sea for many kilometers. Here you can rent a bicycle, ride the Ferris wheel or take a gondola ride along the cozy canals of the "Little Venice".
5. Ganjlik Mall Shopping and Entertainment Center
If you are interested in shopping and modern restaurants in addition to the cultural program, head to Ganjlik Mall, the largest shopping and entertainment center in the city, located in the lively Narimanov district.
